Interpretation of radio continuum and molecular line observations of Sgr B2: Free-free and synchrotron emission, and implications for cosmic rays

Interpretation of radio continuum and molecular line observations of Sgr B2: Free-free and synchrotron emission, and implications for cosmic rays

Recent ammonia (1,1) inversion line data on the Galactic star-forming region Sgr B2 show that the column density is consistent with a radial Gaussian density profile with a standard deviation of 2.75 pc. Deriving a formula for the virial mass of spherical Gaussian clouds, we obtain Mvir = 1.9 × 106...
